pOnding proportions at the back, to resist
the waters Of the untrenched savannah, the
drainage of which in wet weather finds an
outlet where it can. The walls or dams
on each side OF the estate are provided to
meet the risk of water coming over from
n%eighbouring ill-drained properties. With
a proper back dam and good Side.lineS, an
estate even during a season such as the
present has only its own rain, catch to dis
pose Of, and if it's drains and trenches are
in working order, there is very little fear of
it's fields being inundated, save in very
l0w-lying patches, and then only for a
short time. In the district to which we
have referred, the estates with proper
dams were able TO carry ON cane-cutting
and ~Sugarmaking all through the rain,
their dams being high and strong enough
to keep out savannah water, and their
trenches and outlet-kokers sufficient to
drain their own area. But on one or two
sugar estates and on almost all the village
lands, the want of proper entertainments
was very painfully demonstrated for the
savannah water poured in from aback and
covered up farms, pasture lands, village
lots. and roads, running all cultivation,
drowning live stock and causing wide
spread misery and distress. If Governor

has been done by the Pablo Works for
the villages on The Governors orders
proved useful enough during the moderate
seasons Of the past two years, but it has
been of not the least service during the
current one. The Governor can now esti-
mate what works an effective Drainage
Scheme must embrace, and he will now be
able to proceed inteIiigen Iy with the fu'-
thrrance of his measure already introduced
and sanctioned by the Court, the success

the just and enyiable reputation OF having
done work worthy Of a governor. Until
the dams are made, the trenches dug, and

that they proceed from easily avoidable

Railroad Notes.

Mr.. Felix Dover, of The contracting
firm of CASTOR & Dover, was in town
yesterday. He informs us that with
a month Of fair weather they can very
nearly complete their work, which is
west of Hickory Grove. Capt. jack

is now about ready to grade up and
finish his work. The resident engin-

The contractors began laying til e
track ON the G. G. & @. r. R. at Cam

lay, but it is probable that they will
soon be pushing ahead rapidly.-Cans-

Mr.. w. NJ. McCarty, OF Clinah,
agent for the three C's road, was in to
see us last Friday. Mr.. M. says this

located, a large force hands will be put

NEW BUILDINGS.
THE BOOM STILL INCREASING.
The Approaching Cold Season Has no
Effect on Our Building Boom.

The citizens of Johnson City were
not little surprised at the develop
ments in the building line this week.
We had about come to the conclusion
that as cold weather was approaching
no new buildings would be commence
ed and were willing to rest for few
months from the music of the hammer
and saw and the melodious sound OF
mort that has made this whole
neighborhood rejoice for the past 6
months, satisfied with the results that
have been achieved in that time. 1t
is TO wonder then that the people
were little surprised to hear that
work would be commenced on four
new business houses this week. ST.

for their new buildings, A. B. Bow
man, Esq, will build on Main street

building. twill be l00x25 feet and
two stories high.
G. A. Reeves will build on Main st.
one door east of J. w. Hunters and
will also build a two story building
100x25 feet.
Capt S, r. Harris will build one
door east of Reeves on the same street
and will make his building the same
size but instead Of fitting it up for a
store room it will be occupied by him
self as bank. Capt Harris will also
build business house on the corner
Of Main and railroad streets. It will
be two stories high and 26x60 feet.
With the exception of the bank these
buildings will all be used as store hous-
es and all will be fitted up in modern
style.
When these houses are completed
there will have been nine business
houses built in Johnson City since the
first of June, all OF which would be
creditable to a much larger city
Mr. P. c. Hoss, who is now just fin
| ishing the Crandall- tobacco
factory, has the contract for the brick
work of both of Capt. Harris buildings
and G. A. Reeves. He will put a
large force OF hands at work on all the
buildings and will finish them in 80
days.
Besides these business houses work
has been commenced on the following
dwellings in the last 10 days:
S. Simcox on Walnut street.
Dave Weaver on Wattuga Avenue.
R, G. Cox on Watauga Avenue.
Will Peoples on Watauga Avenue,
Alfred Range on Main street.

Our Real Estate Market.

For the past six months we have re-
Trained from publishing the real estate
transfers, partly because it was impos-
sible to get q complete list, and the
larger deals were to be kept "quiet,"
but principally because we did rot
care to foster real estate boom and
thereby create fictitious values that
would in the end be detrimental to
our prosperity. While the whole
South has been enjoying real estate
boom Johnson City has not been idle.
The real estate market has been active
and the number of transfers would
surprise most Of our own citizens.
The sales have not been confined to
our towns-people exclusively, but the
large influx of outside capital that has
been invested here goes to show con-
clusively that there is something solid
and substantial about our boom
While we have been pleased to see all
this activity in the real estate market
we have preferred to encourage the
building boom that we have been EN-.
Toying for the past six months and
are still enjoying without any signs Of
dimunition. To give the people an
idea OF what has been done here thi:
year we will publish in a few weeks a
complete list of the real estate trans
fers from January LIST up to the pres
ent time. Believing that it is fair tC
all parties concerned we shall hereaf
ter publish the sales each week
The most important purchases made
lately were made by the New South
Mining and Improvement Company
in the last few weeks. This company
is identified with the &C. & G. road
and is buying large quantity of lanG
all along the proposed route and only
buys where the Three C's will run
Our people viii, therefore, be gratifieG
to learn that this company now owr
from 800 to 500 acres of land in John
son City and is still buving. This fac
alone ought to satisfy the most skep
teal that the Three C's. will come tC

Tax PAYERS,

Only few days remain for the taxes
payers to pay their taxes before the
constable makes his report to me of all
unpaid tax, and turns the tax list in.
We are anxious to have the back tax
es paid, and the present year tax paid
so we can make the improvements
that are needed on almost every street
in town. If you want walks to your
homes you must pay your taxes so
the City Council can have you nice
walk made, They can't make side
walks and good streets without your
taxes, SO come in and pay up and
let the work go on. II. G. HART,
